Amsterdam to Barcelona

Loved the itinerary and the hotel upgrade in Switzerland. Location location location is what I thought when booking my contiki, glad I opted for the less reviewed option because the itinerary was rad. So much to do in such a short span of time, essentially leaves you wanting more

Great experience overall. However there were no introductions at the start of the tour so it took a while to get to know each other, and the bus rides were too long considering the whole tour only went for 10 days. Also there were some large groups that didn't really mingle with the rest of the group which was a bit disappointing.

The Contiki team (our tour manager and driver) were absolutely top notch. Not only were they highly knowledgable and outgoing, but they took the time to befriend us all on the trip. The tour itself is a great European sampler of some of the most visited countries. There was a perfect balance between personal ME time and group time. Me time optional activities were all amazing for immersing us into that country's culture. Besides some minor hiccups, hotels were all a comfortable stay. Food was generally good, with some minor misses. Overall it was an unforgettable trip where I got the opportunity to meet some amazing people. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Everything was perfect.. Many places that we have visited I'm pretty much sure that I'll never do it alone but because Contki's tour guid "Ben" and the whole group were enhancing.. Basically it makes me feel thirsty to see more and more places.. Just do it ;)
